Michael Jackson declared himself to be the King of Pop, but in the eyes of 50 Cent the “Thriller” singer was a pretender to the throne.
50 Cent recently took to Instagram to post how many records Chris Brown has sold, as the singer has become the 7th best selling singles artist of all time. As a result, 50 he thinks Chris Brown is better than Michael Jackson.
The “Power” producer reposted a screenshot of the “indigo” singer’s stats, which state that he is now the seventh best-selling singles artist of all time after selling 69.5 million singles in the U.S.
In his caption, he also took a shot at the late legend, referencing the recent controversy over the HBO documentary Finding Neverland. “I can’t believe mike wanted to touch the little boys booty,” added 50. “what the fuck man.”
The post, which he made on Twitter and Instagram before deleting it on both platforms didn’t sit well with many of 50’s followers, who took to MJ’s defense. “Shit not funny …. not Mike my nixxa,” wrote one fan, while another added, “50 cent what we won’t do…is slander Michael Jackson.”
